Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 54: A classic plot where the guard did not make things difficult for me
Rhodes knew very well that eating and resting times were often the times when people were most likely to be attacked by criminals.

So during meals and the sleepy time that followed, he became even more vigilant.

Command the river crabs to patrol the canal carefully, occasionally extending their tentacles to more clearly observe the situation on the shore.

In such a tense mood, we arrived at our destination.

The boatman pulled the boat to the shore and said, "We are ahead of us. My boat does not have the authority to travel freely in the capital. Please disembark here."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you."

The boatman thanked Rhodes for his hard work and watched him put the suitcase on board, then helped Mira ashore.

He pushed the oars against the shore, then rowed hard, quickly moving away from the two dangerous men.

It's so exciting. These two people are carrying dangerous items that are enough to destroy a small village!

When he came to book the boat yesterday, he thought the girl was very beautiful, but today he didn't even dare to look at her for a second!

It's good to be alive.

Be careful when you meet Fairy Tail wizards next time.

Rhode looked at the boat that was leaving quickly with confusion: "He won't even pick up a few passengers or transport some goods on the return trip? This seems like a big loss."

Mira adjusted her sun hat with one hand and squeezed the small crystal ball in her bag with the other. She looked at Rhodes with a smile in her eyes: "Yes, why?"

……

Compared to Magnolia, Kourokas has more of a big city feel.

The entire city was built on a relatively flat high ground, with thick walls built outside.

A river meanders in from the southwest entrance of the city wall and reaches the inner city, which is the moat outside the palace wall.

Then it flows out to the drainage outlet in the southeast corner, rushing down along the high ground to form a small waterfall.

Rhodes and Mira came from the east of the city and just happened to see the waterfall wrapped in water vapor that refracted colorful light.

"It's so beautiful." Mira couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Yeah, it's a pity that it doesn't match the city wall." Rhodes wanted to say that the water outlet was designed like a sewage outlet, but it felt too ruinous to the atmosphere.

He sent the two waiting river crabs back to Summoner's Rift: "It's not easy for the Swift Crabs to sneak in. We have to wait until we enter the city to summon them again."

Mira stopped Rhodes from continuing his high-intensity reconnaissance:

"It would be too conspicuous to summon wild monsters in the city. This is the capital, there is no need to worry about law and order. Just relax."

"...Okay." Rhodes did not insist. He was now mainly worried that he might be intercepted at the city gate because of the dangerous goods he was carrying.

Facts have proved that it was too much to worry about.

The guard in charge of guarding the city gate simply asked about the identity and purpose of the visit.

After Rhodes showed the emblem and Mira presented the invitation, they were immediately allowed to pass.

This rough security check made it hard for Rhodes to believe that the public security here would be good.

But if you think about it carefully, the Kingdom of Fiore has been a neutral country for more than 160 years, there has never been any rebellion within the country, and the royal power is very stable, so they probably don't have much sense of crisis.

Flower beds can be seen everywhere on the streets of the royal capital, the windows of the houses are filled with flower pots, and there are even carefully tended small gardens at the doorsteps.

This is why this place is called the Flower District. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers - absolutely good news for people with pollen allergies.

Of course, in the world of magic, there might be a solution.

Rhode carefully observed the surrounding environment and asked, "What should we do next? Senior Mirajane?"

"Hehe, according to the experience of our predecessors, we should go to the hotel first." Mira shook the invitation card that she had just used as a pass, "The magazine has already helped arrange it." Maybe it was because Rhodes' eyes were too fierce, but they didn't encounter any troublemakers or people who wanted to chat up people on the way.

Crocus Garden Hotel, one of the best hotels in the capital.

This is where the Soshara Magazine is holding the celebration, and it is also where Mira and Rod will settle down.

Rhodes looked at the exquisite fountain and tall building, which was almost as big as Magnolia's landmark cathedral.

"How impressive! Is the magazine so rich?"

Mira said: "Of course, after all, Soshara is the most popular magazine in recent years."

The two entered the hall side by side and were warmly received by the service staff.

A handsome male waiter helped the two people to find their way and politely offered to help with their luggage.

Rhodes declined politely, as he was afraid that if his friend wasn't careful, the restaurant would be gone.

"This is your room. Please keep your key safe. If you encounter any problems during your stay, please let me know. I wish you a pleasant stay."

The waiter gently opened the door, handed the key to Mira, and politely said goodbye.

Rhodes blinked: "One room?"

"Oh, the magazine didn't know I was going to bring a companion, so they only prepared one room. What should I do?"

Mira showed an embarrassment, put one hand on her collar, and her voice became pitiful.
"Rhode won't take this opportunity to do anything extreme, right? For example... a night raid or something."

Dark-hearted, dramatic.

Luo·Zhengren Gentleman·De, decisively put down Mira's suitcase: "I'll go open another one."

"Just kidding, it's a suite, one person can have one room."

"Yeah, I was just kidding. It's obvious from the first glance that this hotel is not one I can afford to stay in right now."

Mira sighed with a smile: "It's all Cana's fault. Rod is not as interesting as before."

"How much do you want to see someone embarrassed?" Rhode said, "So I should thank Kana?"

To be honest, Kana really doesn't treat her brothers as outsiders, especially when they are drunk and they are arm in arm with each other, they don't take it seriously at all.

Rhodes was not used to it at first, but later they became friends after getting to know each other for a while.

Shy? Unless her head is directly in her arms - not wearing armor.

"Rod? What are you doing?"

Mira put the suitcase in the room she had chosen, and when she came out she saw Rhodes looking around the bathroom, kitchen, and reception room.

Rhode said, "Check if there are any surveillance crystals. There might be some perverted reporter who wants to get your first-hand information."

"Well..." It's really possible. Mira found that Rhodes' awareness as a guard was really super qualified.

The two checked carefully and found nothing abnormal.

Mira asked, "The celebration doesn't start until tonight, do you want to rest first?"

Rhodes glanced at the bag on Mira's waist and the sun hat in her hand. It was obvious that she wanted to go out.

He stretched his arms and said, "I've been sitting on the boat for a long time. I want to move around a bit. How about you?"

Mira really smiled: "It's a rare opportunity to come to the capital, I want to go for a walk, do you want to come with me?"

Rhodes said: "Of course, I am a guard, and I will follow the client's arrangements."
